BASTARD :: BASTARD.NFO EP (Renraku) — [concise]

Relentless, inventive, and impossible to ignore—this is electronic music at its most unrestrained. No pause, no breath—only forward motion and beautifully wrecked.

No pause, no breath—only forward motion

BASTARD, the fearless alliance between Kai (aka ALEPH) and Kaya of Renraku, delivers a volatile, genre-smashing EP with BASTARD.NFO. Blending caustic textures with infectious rhythm, the release erupts with elements of braindance, glitch, acid, and deep bass mutations. Each track storms forward—warped vocals, shattered breakbeats, and explosive jungle extracts engineered for festival-scale systems and gritty underground nights. “TIME CIG” dazzles with labyrinthine drumwork, while “OVERDRAFT KINGS” delivers a raw, immediate punch. “PRESSURE!” oozes with volatile energy, and the frenetic chaos of “DOING NUMBERS (ACID MIX)” cements the duo’s refusal to play by the rules. Relentless, inventive, and impossible to ignore—this is electronic music at its most unrestrained. No pause, no breath—only forward motion and beautifully wrecked.

BASTARD.NFO is available on Renraku May 9, 2025. [Bandcamp]
